Hinokitiol is a natural monoterpenoid known for its potent metal-chelating properties. In neurodegenerative disease research, hinokitiol has shown promise due to its ability to modulate metal ion homeostasis, a critical factor in the pathogenesis of disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. By chelating excess metal ions, hinokitiol may reduce oxidative stress and prevent metal-induced aggregation of neurotoxic proteins. Additionally, its pro-apoptotic and differentiation-inducing effects in cellular models suggest potential for modulating neural cell fate. These properties position hinokitiol as a candidate for therapeutic strategies targeting metal dysregulation and oxidative damage in the brain.
